Rove Subject of Unwanted Publicity; Some Republicans Wondering About His Fate

An AP News Analysis

WASHINGTON (AP) - Karl Rove is known at the White House as the "the architect," the strategist behind President Bush's political victories. Sometimes he's even called "Bush's brain." Now "the leaker" may become his new nickname, and some wonder if the White House deputy chief of staff will survive.


For someone whose reputation is based on maneuvering behind the scenes, Rove has left himself open to attack with revelations about his role in leaking information two years ago about a CIA officer. The leak is the subject of a federal criminal investigation.

Democrats are demanding Rove's resignation or firing. Some Republicans are nervously wondering whether he went too far and whether he was honest with Bush about what he had done.

At a minimum, Rove's actions have proven to be an embarrassment for a White House that put its credibility on the line and previously insisted, with no equivocation, that Rove had played no role in the leak.

5. And Rove will go from Bush's Leaker to Bush's jail buddy.
Then they will have gone full circle. So to speak. :evilgrin:
